Oakville East MP Office Honours MI3L School's 2025-2026 VEX and Aerial Drone Teams
On October 9, 2026, MI3L School welcomed Elizabeth Chalmers from the office of Anita Anand, Member of Parliament for Oakville East. She came to present awards to our VEX Robotics and Aerial Drone students for what they achieved in the 2025-2026 season. Students, coaches, and families gathered to celebrate a year of hard work at the local, provincial, and world levels.
It meant a great deal to have our community's representative recognize these students. Behind every award are long hours of designing, building, coding, testing, and documenting, and we were proud to see that effort recognized by Oakville East.
